Pure OCD and newborn baby


Recommended Posts

My brother suffers with Pure OCD, and has done for 12 years; and the last two years has developed intrusive sexual thoughts. He has recently become a father and his OCD anxieties have reached a fever pitch and he doesn't know how he can support his partner and baby successfully whilst he has these anxieties. Can anyone offer any advice on how to support him? It's so upsetting seeing such a wonderful person so overcome by this.

Hello there,

There is no quick answer to this.  OCD can be overcome, people can learn to deal with the anxiety caused by OCD, but they can only deal with it through treatment, something that needs to be worked at, sometimes repeatedly with an OCD specialist.  

If I am honest, the best advice on supporting him is to ensure he is getting the right treatment.

Ashley.
